ABSTRACT:
(ALCL) and 5 ALCL cell lines; used to (1) confirm that tumors expressing Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK+ ALCL) and ALK- ALCLs are different entities, (2) identify most significantly differentially expressed genes between ALK+ and ALK- samples, (3) generate a molecular signature of ALK- ALCL, (4) perform unsupervised analysis classifying ALCL in sub-groups related to morphology and clinical variables (e.g. disease stage and enrichment with 'early relapse' patients).

With the use of microarray gene-expression profiling, we analyzed a homogeneous series of 32 patients with systemic anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) and 5 ALCL cell lines. Unsupervised analysis classified ALCL in 2 clusters, corresponding essentially to morphologic subgroups (ie, common type vs small cell and "mixed" variants) and clinical variables. Patients with a morphologic variant of ALCL had advanced-stage disease. This group included a significant number of patients who experienced e ...[more]
